Positive update on Michael Rutter issued after Isle of Man TT crash
Veteran Isle of Man TT racer Michael Rutter suffered multiple fractures in a crash during the 2025 event but “the worst of his injuries have been treated successfully”. The 53-year-old scaled back his own racing involvements to focus on running other areas of the Bathams team, only competing in the Supertwin class this year. Rutter crashed on the final lap of the second Supertwin race on a Yamaha, finishing 10th in the first race. He was taken to Nobles Hospital and then transferred to Aintree Hospital for treatment, where surgeons successfully stabilised fractures in his spine between L2 and L5 vertebrae. Rutter also requires surgery in his ankle for a further fracture, but his condition is now stable after the worst of his injuries have been treated. The Isle of Man TT concluded with no Senior TT due to dangerous wind conditions on the course, resulting in the final race being abandoned.
